Premium Member What is this Love, Actually
What is this love we seek to find and hold? It twists and contorts, resistant to enfold. A surprising elusive shadow, that pops up from the mist? When we least expect it, to enlist when kissed. This love actually, defies logic and common sense! For whom we love, truly deeply is beyond any pretense, Any hope that its stickiness can...

Premium Member WHO ACTUALLY IS LIKE US
Who actually is like us The modern world you see today Right before your eyes, Who done this and who done that Well you’re in for a wee surprise. From the Bank of England to the Bank of France Then we invented the BBC, How the hell did we manage that For a country that`s so wee. We gave them the US navy And the...

Abstractually Speaking
Eyes teleporting in zig zags Spamming like daggers Humanoid skull Veins expanding out Skeleton hand orbiting Soul screaming Love burning Shrouded in darkness It's hard to frame it in a picture It's hard to add it in a mixture Abstract emotions are swelling behind the light of my retinas Demonic angels i guess A challenge to a game of chess I'll chant a curse and I'll bless it Abstractually speaking ...

Premium Member Freedom
("Peyote Dreams", 2018, original encaustic) Freedom Freedom blah blah blah Say the b*tches in heat Drawn forever to follow What is merely their meat Freedom they say, but clearly don’t know What they possibly mean When their life is all show Now liberty waits Once you awake It may seem so simple It may seem so fake But it’s real I tell you And it comes from the heart A heart...

I’m,,,? Actually I don’t know anymore
It's that part of the year again, How many times has this happened? When did it start? I can’t remember. When my mind rages like a storm-tossed sea, And I sit, helpless, drowning, In waves that crash harder each time, Every time believing it's my last, Every time thinking I've survived, But I’m just left sinking, gasping. I am unchecked, I urge myself to seek therapy, To...

Premium Member Id Actually Forgotten
It’s the little things, that remind me of my aunt, and how in some unusual way, she may still be alive, if only in the memory, a passing morning train, tea bags splaying suddenly, from unopened cupboards, I’d actually forgotten somehow, her favourite cup and saucer, with cracks down the side, pictures strewn in drawers, redolent of precious moments, framed photos...

Premium Member Wait a Minute Mr Postman - Actually Just Walk On
I want to write about this sad feeling in my chest, but I won't Before that swamped me, I'd noticed a new spiderweb But it's a spiderweb that engenders an apology Allow your mind to drift back to when I made assumptions about how frequently the post box was being emptied (memorable poem) Now flash forward to now,...

Do You Even Actually Like Me?
Do you like me? Honestly, And I don’t mean romantically. Cause you say we’re friends But it feels like When I walk into a room you leave And your touching me almost constantly On days you feel like touch But you slap my hand and move away At even just a brush You squeeze my cheeks And smack my head Insult me with a...

Actually Going Outside
Actually Going Outside We decide to do the cliff walk from Bray to Greystones even though the day is grey and the heavy clouds are low overhead with a distinct possibility that it will bucket out of the skies but we don’t care because we’ve set aside the day for this and a few pissy showers aren’t going to stop us from making the...

She is thankful she is wise, pretends to be nice...

Actually I Like Russia
Actually, I like Russia But want her to join Asia: Doesn’t really belong to Europe; Like she is there tired with a rope: So much Asian bravado: Others under my shadow! Shall I forget her Brezhnev To Cowboy Reagan, Quite Brave Or her Yuri Andropov Whom you couldn’t say was ‘Dove’ Then, they were dying much fast Chernenko could not quite last Also, like Russian...
